Umm... Pretty sure it is illegal to forcibly sterilizing someone. And, what would be considered "habitually" on welfare? Just because you are on welfare does not mean that you have a large family. I am on welfare and have 2 kids. And we have been on welfare for 10 years, is that habitual? As someone who has gotten a tubal ligation, is that enough for you? Or would you require that I also take a pill that taxpayers would have to pay for because it is too expensive for me.

Nobody is forcing anyone to take a pill it's cheaper & and has no harmful side effects to just keep your legs closed...or keep it in your pants...and no I'm not a prude I just take responsibility for my actions

I wish it was home of the free for myself...unfortunetly I'm a single female "paying" her way...land of the free utilities, food, rent, cell phone & most importantly healthcare...that is free if you are on welfare. Even with health insurance that I pay for if I'm hurt or ill I must choose to tough it out or miss work which means loss of income & potentially loss of my healthcare coverage. ( I'm a union construction worker benefits are earned by hours worked) having family & friends that are healthcare providers tell me how the patients on Medicaid flood the dr's office or the ER with the slightest complaint ( I would have to be half dead to go to the ER let alone run in with the common cold) and why & how can welfare recipients hmmm let's see no fear of bills for deductibles co-pays picking up the 20% of the bill private insurance doesn't cover. And like I mentioned I'm not some rich spoiled entitled girl...my job pays the bills I had to work hard & compete to have it. It's physically demanding. Yeah I'd love to not have to crawl home sore & tired everyday not worry where the rent was coming from I guess I should just exercise my freedom to get pregnant repeatedly then I wouldn't have to work so hard

I don't. Drug testing would filter out most of them.(EDIT) I'm sick and tired of a central government mandating everything and interfering with our individual choices. So I guss my answer should have been a big

I don't know about forced birth control, but there should be a limit to the amount and length of government assistance. I don't think you can force birth control, but I do think we should look at removing kids from homes where they're not being taken care of properly. If you're on government assistance and you keep having kids it might be best for the kids if they were put in a home that could provide for them.

In the past welfare used young women as baby making factories so they could put the kid into a foster homew where the people paid the state for the kids./ If you are young enough to have kids but can't afford them don't ask us to pay for them.

If you have a buttload of kids and cant pay for them maybe, but birth control messes with some girls. Also some religuons dont belive in that. Not everybody on welfare has too many kids. But if you cant take care of the kids you have than you probably shouldnt have anymore

I've heard too many times the poor tale of can't take birth control...hmm many options non hormonal IUD...condoms (supposed those same women that the pill "messes" with also have latex allergies...) or if it is a religious concern practice the rhythm method...hmm being catholic that is what is taught before marriage...but most religions that are against birth control also are against pre martial sex...just saying

Yes and make it hard for these anchor baby dropping fools to stop popping out so many kids because they know Americans will take care of them. And before a crybaby lib yells out racist, there is nothing racist about the problem we are in, people that abuse the system and hard working americans pay while someone sits on there ass. Then we get the law breaking illegals here to have baby after baby, and again the goal oriented have to pay.

Your right about that. I bet if there werent so many illegal aliens, the unemployment rate would probably be lower, even there are so many people that dont want to work, or think they are too good to do whats out ther

Here in Europe, politicians are whining because women do not have enough children to pay for old people's pensions in the future. We in France have the highest fertility rate, partly because we encourage women to have babies, family allowances, free child care, paid maternity leave etc.
I understand that in America, you don't need children, pensions will be be paid anyway. Romney probably has a plan.
